Following curiosity, wherever it leads

Hellooo! I’m Lindsey — an author, speaker and adventurer who swims rivers and coastlines in a mermaid tail to tell stories about the world we live in.

I follow my curiosity, reframe challenges as opportunities and protect what matters — and through my talks and books, I invite others to do the same.

Lindsey delivers motivational talks and workshops for schools, businesses and events around the world. Drawing on lessons learnt from real adventures in the wild, her sessions inspire audiences to think more bravely, pursue their curiosity and build resilience in the face of challenge.

Lindsey writes and illustrates children’s picture books inspired by her real-life mermaid adventures and environmental campaigns.

Lindsey has crafted her books into interactive stage shows, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, Glastonbury and hundreds of schools across the UK.

Campaigning for clean waterways sits at the heart of Lindsey’s books and mermaid expeditions. She collaborates with environmental charities and is part of the Conham Bathing Group, campaigning for designated bathing status on the Bristol Avon. From creative protests to community action, Lindsey uses storytelling to drive change.
